We're not sinking - it's just deeper here

There was no flying over the weekend due to too bad weather. The whole week was a blow out except for Wednesday when two aerobatic planes came to train for their regional contest. Must be good for nature all this water. The sturdy dutch living in the camp classify this weather as normal dutch winterweather-nothing to get excited about. Tom sitting in Ireland and reading our mail got worried that his hut was in the water and floating away so he phoned in the middle of the night to inquire.

Saturday Jacobus and Jerry worked on the AAI of GUC and even put it together. Rudi was there, too, to give advice and a hand.

Sunday did not see any activity. Pilots in Europe work on their planes with this sort of weather. Logically their planes are generally in a much better condition than the SA ones. Wonder if we will see this phenomenon here too? Exceptions were Adriaan and Adri who were getting their LAK and trailer ready to go to the wave camp at El Mirador. Alison and Johnny were there, too, but they came out especially for Katryntjie.

Johnny took some photos of the Breede river in flood and I have forwarded one of these to the News. The photo was taken at Nekkies resort on Saturday morning.
